Introduction
What is PowerPoint?
PowerPoint is an easy-to-use presentation software package that allows the user
to create computer-driven slideshows. In PowerPoint you can put pictures, text,
charts and even animation into your “slides”.
You can advance slides one by one, just like you would in a traditional slide
show, and by connecting your computer to an LCD data projector you can project
your presentation just as you would with a slide projector. PowerPoint is part of
Microsoft Office and is available on both Mac’s and PC’s.
Using the Visual Resources Collection equipment
Faculty and Art history students can use the flatbed and slide scanners in the
VRC (CWAC 261) to create images for presentations. Visual Resources staff can
also inspect your personal laptop to make sure that you have the necessary
video port, and that it is compatible with data projectors in CWAC. We suggest
that you call ahead to make an appointment (2-5048) or email
appropriate help) with imaging and presentation questions.
Imaging Tips
Scan or collect all your images into a single folder on your computer before you
begin making your PowerPoint lecture. PowerPoint will correctly scale images; it
will save images within the program in a new format (.ppt). Your original scans
will not be converted, and it is good to save those for future uses in higher
resolution/ larger file sizes (e.g. in their original size, whatever that is.) It is
easiest and most efficient to batch process 1024 x 768 jpegs for PowerPoint use.
You can also create 1024 x 768 segments of larger files as details. PowerPoint
can accept images in .jpg, .tif, .gif and other formats. Normally, you will use
PowerPoint set to 1024 x 768 pixels and 16 bit colors for best results.
All images from the VRC Online Images are 1220 pixel jpegs.
The following instructions and screen shots are from newer (2000+) versions of
PowerPoint for the PC.
